The specs say 65 watts, but ccording to what I've seen from others that have measured them, the Baicells eNB should be more like 35 watts... but that even seems to be a bit higher than what I'm seeing.
I have a 1-watt eNB powered by a Packetflux PDU, which is showing around 350ma @53.5v... but that's with it sitting mostly idle and only two clients connected. If I start pushing data through one of those connections, I'm seeing it peak as high as 540ma, but average is more like 425-450ma (this is with 50-60mbps going through it to one client).
